The Rant: Twitter-recruiting is creepy, not effective

There’s a special kind of pathetic in people who harass high school football players to play football for their college.

Twitter, when not a tool of deception aimed at Notre Dame linebackers, is a launch pad for these Ed Orgeron-rejects to pester blue-chip talent in hopes that they will choose to attend their school. On one hand, I understand why a 17 year old’s ego would actually like these creeps. But don’t forget that they’ll be the same people to call you a bum after a couple missed tackles. Passion doesn’t come with perspective, and almost never is it with compassion.
